Following "manual import" instructions on Windows: https://localwp.com/help-docs/getting-started/how-to-import-a-wordpress-site-into-local/#Manually-Import-a-Local-site.

I get the error when running wp db import db.sql in LocalWP's site shell:

Error: Failed to get current SQL modes. Reason: ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

Use this command instead.

mysql -u root -proot local < db.sql
